The Collaboration

“RWD has worked with Benetti over many years, bringing two cultures together in our designs. We have spent time with them, and I think that trying to fuse—if it is even possible—Italian elegance and a British line, a very classic line, has been important.

Benetti has given us the space to innovate by giving us freedom, particularly by saying, “Forget what we knew before.” Forget the tradition and with a clean piece of paper, with a younger client in mind, with families in mind, change our association with the sea. This is what we have done, and we believe that as a result, a completely different client will love these new Benetti’s. The elements on the backs of those boats have everything to do with sharing time by the water. So many yachts, traditionally, have lost that intimacy with the water.”

YACHT PROJECTS

The B.Now 72M

The B.NOW 72M is the flagship of the series and features the largest Oasis Deck® to date. She flows seamlessly from deck to deck, with each expansive terrace sweeping into the next for a genuinely open onboard experience. The signature, open-sided Oasis infinity pool sits within a vast 17-meter-square deck area. Perfectly positioned just above the transom, it offers an unparalleled connection with the ocean, panoramic vistas, and the chance to enjoy complete privacy.

The B.Now 50M

The external lines of this imposing 50-meter yacht carve out large areas dedicated to outdoor life, so much so that about 40% of the living area is outside. The large veranda doors connect the interiors and exteriors of the Main and Upper Decks, crafting spaces with a unique sense of continuity.

The Oasis Deck® on the Oasis 34M and 40M

“With the Oasis Deck® , the transition from inside to out is seamless; the yacht herself is very relaxed and open plan. Spaces are indoor-outdoor, no longer is there a divide between the two. I think they are intrinsically linked; that is one of the main focuses for the design of the Oasis, its flexibility.”

FB252 M/Y Nataly

“When we built Nataly in 2011, the design we produced was a mark of quality and very much a collaboration between ourselves, the client, and Benetti to build something remarkable. Nataly is a unique design that is still referenced now and that definitely stood the test of time. There is an eagerness in our approaches, shared between Benetti and RWD, to create something very special.”

FB275 M/Y IJE

“FB275 M/Y IJE is, of course, a momentous achievement. We are so very proud of her. She is beautiful, expertly constructed, and personifies everything we have done with Benetti over the years. She sits on top of all our achievements in a rather elegant 108-meter-way.”
